I've just recently been told that I have a limited time (until June
28) to save $50 by purchasing an upgrade "subscription" to RB.
This would be an upgrade from RB2005r4 to RB2006r2.
I am one of the people on the side of the fence that doesn't
particularly like the 2005-2006 interface and I find the bugs too
annoying in 2005r4 and below to actually use it. I can deal with
the interface, I suppose, but I'm not sure about the bugs and IDE
sluggishness.
My question is: Is it worth it to purchase the upgrade now, or
should I wait until RB2007? Are many of you still having a lot of
trouble?
Haven't heard anything lately, so I'm wondering if most of the bugs
have been ironed out.
Have you looked at the advantages vs. disadvantages in the new version
(s)? Compared to 5.5, just the feature advantages are significant,
and the cost is mostly all IDE glitches... I learned a long time ago
(way before I used REALbasic) to save early and often and that has
brought me through 2005r1 and all of the newer releases without me
wanting to revert back to 5.5.
I hear users needing to upgrade to 2.0 GB just so that REALbasic
feels snappy, but I have never experienced this sluggishness in my
own projects. Now I admit that my projects are usually quite small
(source code is usually less than 1 MB), but I am also running a
number of other memory-hog apps (like Illustrator and Photoshop) as
well as iTunes, Safari, Mail and other various apps. I am sure that
it would be faster if I maxed my machine with memory, but I haven't
felt that I need to do so just to be productive.
Besides Universal Binaries are promised by the end of the year, and
your upgrade subscription would be valid for several months into 2007.
